A Credit is the unit of consumption in Socialtrait SaaS. Every research tool — Auto-FGD, Self-Managed FGD, Creative Ranking, and Attention Heatmaps consumes credits when a study is run.
Credits make usage transparent and give Org Admins control over team-wide consumption.
Credits are only deducted when a study completes successfully. While a study is running, the required credits are frozen and temporarily unavailable for other studies.
If the study completes successfully → credits are deducted.
If the study fails → the frozen credits are released back to the account.
